Typically this would be an AGP card in slot 2. All the AGP cards available with the system should have a standard 15 pin VGA connector and/or a DVI connector. If your graphics card only has DVI connectors, you can get DVI to VGA converter cables. These usually come with the card. AFAIK, EVC is/was only used on parisc hardware.
